So, that's what started Borba thinking about making his Interactive Vintage Inspired Folk Art only nine months ago. Inside his D.B. Collectibles booth, wood-carved devils and dogs with cartoon-like faces and metal pulleys tempt anyone who enters to tug on them.

"The devils are the best-sellers," Borba said. He's surprised that his "Devil Boy" has been so popular in Utah.

"I get a lot of reaction," the artist said. When one man asked him if he believed in the devil, Borba said, "I think he looks cool on the wall."

But not all art is just for looks.

Fritz Wood's odd-shaped spoons are supposedly as useful as they are beautiful.

"There's the oblong pumpkin cleaner-outer," Wood said. The spoons are all wood-carved and have names to fit the shape, such as the Double Layer Lemon Pie Slicer and the Pickle Poker Getter Outer.

As far as wearable art, Della Goheen has created collapsible travel hats that she said weigh less than one-and-a-half ounces each. Once they are opened, they are less than boring. She recommends putting on an oversized ribbon or flower to spice up the hat.

A hat, by the way, is not a bad idea for festival attendees, especially with continuing temperature forecasts near or at the century mark.

To cool off, attendees can go under the misters on the east side of the library or check out Fear No Film  short films being shown in the air-conditioned library.
